God’s offer of blessing to Solomon was conditional. God said, “If you walk before Me faithfully as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe My decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne.” God also placed this condition upon the people.

Jesus said, “If you abide in Me and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.”

If is a powerful word, and places emphasis upon our free will. We are not robots.
